GRG is pleased to announce a short course on Modern Landfill Design Operation and Management, to be held at 杏吧原创 University on April 22-23, 2024. The course will be offered in both in-person and online (Hybrid) formats.

This short course will focus on the analysis and design of municipal solid waste landfills to minimize contamination of surrounding environment. Most engineers with responsibility for design and construction of containment and barrier systems need a working understanding of basic concepts to gain confidence in dealing with a variety geoenvironment related problems that they encounter on engineering projects. This course is designed so that participants can better understand modern landfills and learn from experts in geoenvironmental engineering on how to design and operate a safe and sustainable landfill. All key concepts and guidelines will be explained and emphasis will be placed on the practical application of the information provided.

GRG is pleased to announce a short course on Analysis and Design of Shallow and Deep Foundations, to be held at 杏吧原创 University on April 18-19, 2024. The course will be offered in both in-person and online (Hybrid) formats.

This short course will focus on the analysis and design of both shallow and deep foundation systems to resist vertical and horizontal loads coming from various superstructures including buildings, bridges, power plants, etc. Most engineers with responsibility for the design and construction of foundation and structure systems need a working understanding of basic concepts to gain confidence in dealing with a variety of foundation and geotechnical related problems that they encounter on engineering projects. This course is designed so that participants can better understand foundation engineering and learn from experts in geotechnical engineering on how to design a safe and sustainable foundation system in various site and loading conditions. All key concepts and guidelines will be explained and emphasis will be placed on the practical application of the information provided.

GRG developed a novel adsorptive filter system named GRAFTA for contaminant removal from wastewater, contaminated water and soil taking into acount the recent advancement in nanotechnology. This innovative filter is capable of absorbing heavy metals and other organic and inorganic contaminants for aquatic solutions. High absorbance capacity, significantly lower cost and end-of-life application are some of unique characteristics of this novel filter system. Contact GRG for further information.

GRG has designed and manufactured a unique earthquake simulator funded by the Leaders Opportunity Fund. The earthquake simulation facility includes a modular shake table unit with dimensions of 2m 脳 2m and payload capacity of 10 tonnes to simulate seismic excitation, a cutting-edge controlling system with network interface capability, and a laminar shear box to contain a soil medium and provide proper boundary conditions for soil-structure simulations.  The unique combination of the shake table with a large shear box and fully networked interface controller in this CFI facility provides the ideal opportunity to perform more realistic experiments on soil-structure systems and conduct networked large-size experiments in conjunction with shake tables and labs at other world class universities through an Internet-based multi-site virtual laboratory network.
